Communication involves the study of all aspects of human communication. All social life, from family, romantic, work, and political relationships are established exclusively through the process of communication. The School of Communication's curriculum recognizes the importance of communication knowledge and skills in an increasingly complex world. The major includes traditional concepts and theories that form the basis of these skills.

Surveys of managers consistently indicate the most important abilities required of prospective employees are in the realm of effective communication. Communication students often augment their education with minors in potential applied arenas of public life, such as leadership, business administration, psychology, sociology, political science, women's studies, public rhetoric and writing studies, international security and conflict resolution, and other applied areas. The School also recommends international and study abroad focused minors.
